Princeton University's M.S. Chadha Center for Global India (CGI) hosted the inaugural “Global India Frontiers Conference,” a multidisciplinary, pan-USA academic conference, on April 12 and 13, 2024. The event, a unique collaboration among Princeton's CGI, Harvard University's Lakshmi Mittal and Family South Asia Institute and Indiaspora, brought together leading experts across economics, politics, STEM, arts, and humanities in cross-disciplinary discourse on global India. 

"The goal was to bring together academics from multiple disciplines with diverse viewpoints to discuss key themes related to global India-economy, politics, inclusion, innovation, sustainability, arts and humanities" said Anu Ramaswami, the Sanjay Swani '87 Professor of India Studies; professor of civil and environmental engineering, the Princeton Institute for International and Regional Studies (PIIRS) and the High Meadows Environmental Institute. Ramaswami, who is also the director of CGI and originated the idea for the conference, added: ”We wanted this conference to foster dialogue and discourse breaking through disciplinary and viewpoint silos on India's future."
